Planet Gaardinn [gordɪn] has a size and gravity only slightly higher than that of the Earth. Its axial tilt is only 3 1/2 degrees. On the other hand Gårdinn's orbit around its sun is about ten times as elliptic as the Earth's orbit around ours. This causes considerable temperature differences over the year over the entire planet.
